Thursday Morning, Jan. 7 , 1904 .
j oldest and best establislud country
i journals of our state. Very few are
I now living in Holmes when it made j
its appearance in 1888. Since that
time it has not onlv recorded, but j
!
took no small part in all the momen
tous questions which have confronted
our people. Suspensions of its activ
ities have bei-n few and of brief
!
, , , , . ,!
duration, and after each it entered
..... , . T ,
the list with renewed vigor. Its pros
* . ,
section have
pects like that ox our
not been brighter since the Civil war.
. . '
It Visits the homes of most ot our
, ... ...
people, and it is our ambition to en
,, „ , ,
roll all on our subscription list, and;
... .i. i i 4.1
we will earnestly strive to make the as
sociaton mutually pleasant and bene
ficial. We do not offer this copy asj
a criterion of the sort of paper we
intend herefter to issue, the prolong
ed absence of our printers on their
Christmas vacation having left us
short of help up to the present time.
But with the aid of our local corre
spondents, and we hope to obtain one
I
:
in every community not now
presented, we shall try to give an
accurate reflection of current doings
We shall encourage all town and :
countv enterprises calculated to ad- i
vance the material welfare of our!
people and support the moral side of J
all questions.

On entering the new year our peo-;
ple should not forget that raising
a supply of corn, made the remunera
tive price of their cotton possible,
Had they as in several former years
devoted their time and energy to cot-1
„„ .'A fi,f ' 1 at „«
■on and net-lected th,,r M Mult,
lower values of cotton would have
ruled, and no balances
found the vaults of our local banks,
The experience of 1908 ought to be
ineffaceabiy impressed on our people,
would have!
ft;
j
and followed unerringly for years to
come. Make all the feed stuff fo
man and beast you need; after that
all the cotton you can.
We see it stated that U mgressman
Brownlow, presumably a son of the
late Parson Brownlow of East Ten
nessee, wants the government to ap
propriate #20,000,1K)f 1 for the purpose
of improving the reads of the coun
try. At first sight tin 1 idea does not
seem altogether ba I, blit after de
voting a few moments thought on the
subject, and taking an inventory
all public utility appropriations
the past, not a dollar of the 820,000
000 proposed by Mr. Brownlow would j
ever find its way ton road in the;
Gulf States. However, that may be;
. f !
cause sufficient to make it piss both,
, , „ . , , 1
houses of Gongress m short order. '

Great calamities, such as befell the
people in Chicago at the Irequois
theater, December 80, shock the
world with horror and the outpour
ing of sympathy from every quarter
to the stricken people shows the kin
ship of humanity. A great and sud
den catastrophe, accompanied with
suffering, no matter in what part of
the world it may occur, affects all
alike and their first impulse is to ren
der assistance in some way.
From a Birmingham dispatch it
would seem thus the populace is more
exited about the disappearance of
Ethel Rovelle, the reputed millionair
ess from Meridian than her parents,
who confidently assert that she will
will show un in a short time. Ethel
has two living husbands, and being
able to manage them, is sufficient evi
dence to the minds of her people that
she is able to take care of herself.

All of our new county officials were
installed Monday, and everything per
taining to their severa 1 duties goes
on in the usual way. The old officers
did well, and the new, we are satis
fied, will do the same.
Theater buildings should he con
structed like circus tents, the exit of
which is open all around to tiny psr

A Prisoner In Her Own House.
Mrs. W. H. Layha, of lOol Agnes
Ave., Kansas City, Mo., has for several
years been troubled with severe hoarse
ness and at times a hard cough, which
she'says, 'Would keep'me in doors for
days. I was prescribed for hy physi
cians with no noticeable results. A
A friend gave me part of a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with in
structions to closely follow the directions
and I wish to state that after the first
!
I
|
day 1 could notice a decided change for
the better, and at this time after using
it for two weeks, have no hesitation in
saying I realize tnat I am entirely
cured.
This remedy is for sale by
